Side Thoughts
He showed them his hands and his
side. John 20:20 (NAB)
Just as there are various
sides to each of us, our Lord Jesus displayed different
sides of himself while living here on earth.
There was the
side of Him that:
Reached out to others (John 4:7)
Gathered with his disciples (John 6:3)
Cried (John 11:35)
Displayed righteous anger (John 2:16)
Craved solitude and prayer (Mark 1:35)
And most important of all –
The Side that took the soldier’s spear. (John 19:34)
Thank you, Savior, for the blood and water that poured out from your side, culminating your earthly work. Please guide us and prevent our getting sidetracked as we seek to follow you.
